Paxata
Paxata can be highly useful to someone who doesn't like/have any experience with writing codes to treat data before using it as input into BI dashboards. Paxata can accelerate data cleaning in environments where a large amount of unclean data is generated and business decisions on the go are required. It performs really well while dealing with natural language.

It is really purposeful for large individual-level data sources that need to be sorted and cleaned. It is not useful for datasets that include colors, etc.

Paxata
- Visualize distributions in large data sets effectively which enable the user to quickly spot outliers and treat them appropriately
- Provides recommendation to merge datasets based on matching column values
- The cluster and edit feature in my opinion is its most powerful feature and reduces cardinality in column with text

Cons
Paxata
- Doesn't provide recommendation on how to impute values
- There is a lag quite often
- We can say whether a column has errors or quality issues in the first look

- Hadoop source data tables are presented in a flat searchable list but I would rather see them in the native hierarchy.
- Web interface can be flaky. We often need to refresh the page.

Alternatives Considered
Paxata
Paxata is a much better tool when it comes to handling natural language but Talend provides recommendations on how to impute missing values and outliers. Paxata provides recommendations on dataset tie-ups and joins but Talend doesn't provide any such recommendations. In paxata you can visualize distribution of data in a column and filter them by dragging and selecting the section you'd like to retain

Our IT group presented Trifacta to me. They picked it out and among the crowd for me. This was way beyond ETL tools, SQL, or any programming language. It's just much faster and because it's sitting on Hadoop you bypass some of the slowdowns typically faced with RDBMS.
